Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

Its ok

The overall experience was ok. Yet I dont feel that it was worth 10k€ a year for what I received. Starting from repetitive classes in each year but with a different name until not having bathrooms for almost 6 months. The quality of the majority of classes was 2/5. The content of the classes was not deep enough to teach you about tools, appliances, ways of solving, what should be taken into consideration. On my 2 last years. I took the exact same class of public relations but named differently. Not even the professor knew what to say any more. I didn’t saw not event one tool that is used in public relations. We analyzed just one case of public relations in the whole semester. And it was a mention not event a full analysis. I do not recommend GBSB. The internships they say the help you with on their webpage its a lie. They do not help you in any way to connect you with no company. They are not event informed in how to help you with the visa.

University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

Studying at CEU prepared me for the world.

Studying Advertising and public relations at CEU Cardenal Herrera was an enriching and transformative experience. One thing I standout is the combined theoretical and practical skills we learned throughout the career. We work hand on hand with well known brands that give us a profesional view and a bigger understanding of the profesional world. The multicultural environment at CEU help me develop cultural sensibility and open my perspective because of the diverse backgrounds. The most enriching experience was living in the amazing city en Valencia, its stunning architecture and its amazing food. I graduated feeling confident and prepared to enter to the professional world.

Good, but worthy of improvement

The life in Murcia is simply great! A lot of tapas bars, bars, clubs etc. which are affordable for students! During the courses at UCAM, I got to know so many international people who got really good friends in the meanwhile. The only shortcoming is that several professors have difficulties to explain their ideas in English, because of the language barrier. But this does not concern every teacher. Furthermore, the teaching staff is not only about professors but about people having their own business and talking about their own experiences. All in all the education is pretty good at UCAM. But the working-life balance is even better. "Savoir-Vivre!"

Nothing to show

Terrible service. They only want money

First, since I asked for information for the ELE Master, I had the advisor constantly pressuring me to decide, to enroll, to PAY, to sign... she would not leave me alone for a day. Up to that point, I didn't like it, but I thought, well, it was their way of selling, 1st red flag. 2nd red flag: When signing the registration on the platform, they asked me if I agreed with the conditions, but the conditions did not appear anywhere, to which I told the advisor that I could not sign a document where they asked me if I agree to the conditions that are not explained to me. She responded by saying that there was "nothing strange", and that the conditions were that I was going to study at the university, and I was surprised that a supposedly serious institution believes that one must accept the conditions that they tell you orally, is it Seriously?, 3rd red flag. However, I wanted to continue trusting (silly me) and I signed. However, I told advisor Pilar Fuentes that, as a suggestion, the conditions should be explicitly described in that document, to which she did not respond anything, nor to my question about what the next step was. Two days passed and still no response. I asked him again what the next step was and three days later he responded: "Hello, how can I help you?" As if he didn't know me, I repeated the question again, which remained unanswered for two more days, that is, 5 in total. (4th red flag), clearly showing that this university only cares about PROFIT. Once they take money from you, they forget. During those days, another person already sent me the "20 installments" in which I had to pay, which surprised me again because no one asked me how I was going to pay. When I asked this person about it, he told me I had SIGNED for 20 installments... (5th red flag). What other surprise were they going to come up with that I had signed? But of course, it was my mistake to accept what the advisor told me. When I wrote to this advisor again to tell her that she couldn't believe that she still hadn't answered me after 5 days and that she wasn't going to give another cent to this university, she just reacted with a not very credible excuse. I demanded the return of MY money (290 USD) and despite the fact that I explained to them in the discharge department that I had completely lost confidence in the institution due to lack of professionalism and transparency, and despite the fact that I offered to give them details of what happened, little They didn't care and told me they wouldn't give me ANYTHING back. In other words, I confirmed the advisor's attitude, but that this is a problem not only for her, but also for an institutional problem. The least you expect when you complain about a terrible service is that the person providing said service is a little embarrassed and at least returns the money that is not theirs. But hey, let it benefit them. As for me, I will tell all my colleagues about this terrible experience so that they can look for a university that is worth it. And I hope my review helps others not to fall into the trap.
